Wilder has officially exercised the contracted rematch clause to face Fury for a third time following his crushing defeat last month in Las Vegas.

He had 30 days to trigger an immediate rematch and it appears a date and venue is set for their third clash.

Promoter Bob Arum is lining up Fury vs. Wilder III for July 18 back at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the same location that hosted the rematch on February 22, per ESPN.

Fury stopped Wilder in the seventh round to claim the WBC heavyweight world title in the highly-anticipated rematch.

Wilder’s co-trainer Mark Breland threw in the towel to halt the championship contest. “The Bronze bomber was furious with the decision but he decided not to sack Breland from his corner.

And speaking in a video on social media, he addressed his first professional defeat.

“Hello my people, my Bomb Squad army, my Bomb Squad nation, to all my loved ones around the world, I just want to let you know I am here,” he said.

“Your king is here. And we ain’t going nowhere, for the war has just begun. I will rise again. I am strong. I am a king, you can’t take my pride.

“I am a warrior. I am a king that will never give up. I’m a king that will fight to the death. And if anyone don’t understand that, don’t understand what it is to go to war, don’t understand what it is to fight, we will rise again. We will regain the title.

“I will be back. We will hold our heads up high. Your king is in great spirit. We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes and regain the title. I’ll see you in a few months, for the war has just begun. All my love to all my people.”

Unified heavyweight king Anthony Joshua, meanwhile, is set to face IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev on June 20 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

His promoter Eddie Hearn is hoping to match Joshua and Fury with each other if they come out victorious in their respective fights.
